From: antioch on 21 Jun 2010 17:19 WIN XP SP3 plus all updates. Back in Dec 2009 I purchased a new LiteOn IHAP322-22x DVD. I have recently been using it to boot my computer as I have been getting intermittent BSODs so I have been using an iso boot disc when needed. Having been able today to start the computer, without needing the boot disc, I took the opportunity to do a backup. After doing this I checked to see that all was safely on the disc only to find it was blank - nothing showing. I put the disc into a laptop and all the backup folders were there. I have since put in other different types of discs, DVD Video, music video, other backup discs and saved text discs and all are blank. I have also checked in hardware manager - device working properly - no warnings - tried to update driver[Microsoft 5.1.2535.0] but the one I have is it - no driver to offer in roll back. Tried the troubleshooter and no help there. Before I get in touch with the retailer, I was wondering if the BSODs etc could have any bearing on the DVD player? OR I have done something stupid[likely] somewhere else. Rgds Antioch Pleased to see that this and some other newsgroups are still alive.

I wonder what the 'third' big problem will be? Monitor dying. Thanks Rgds Antioch |
